Sorry for this very basic question, but I've hit a wall and can't figure what I need to do. I'm getting started on trying to do some systemd development. The most natural way for me to compile systemd is to use the Fedora RPM spec to create an RPM and install that on a test machine. I've pulled the systemd-210.tar.xz and used that to build RPMs based on the Fedora 20 systemd package. That's easy enough.
The problem that I have is taking the systemd git repository and turning that into a tarball that the RPM spec file can use. In particular, it fails -- at least initially -- because there are lots of files missing in doc/. I'm assuming that I need to run some commands to prep the repository before creating the tarball. Could someone enlighten me what steps need to be taken before building the RPM? 1. ?? 2. tar cJf systemd-210.tar.xz systemd-210/ 3. mv systemd-210.tar.xz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ 4. rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/systemd.spec Thanks, Justin _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
